Product Description
Agapanthus 'Galaxy White' PP31431 (25) Bare Root Plants
Common Name: Lily of the Nile, African Lily
Agapanthus are typically grown in warmer zones, but Walters Gardens is pleased to introduce a collection of vigorous varieties that are hardy to zone 6! These varieties have overwintered in our heavy snow winters for the more than 7 years. They're out of this world with globular clusters that are produced on tall stems over large, rounded clumps of foliage.
5" clusters of pure white flowers. Very vigorous-one of the largest you'll find!
Agapanthus appear similar to the popular bulb Allium with their giant clusters of star shaped flowers. Where they vary is in the time of bloom, typically later in the summer, and far more numerous flower stalks per plant. These plants thrive with adequate moisture and will take center stage in the landscape while in flower.

Other Details
The most important part of the plant is its root system. Healthy roots are the foundation of a healthy, vibrant plant. The type of plug container used is based on the specific needs of the plants. Perennials offered as bare root traditionally perform better when planted as bare root.Planted in a specialized mix, potted plants have well established root systems. Top growth stage will vary depending on the current life cycle and time of year when shipped. In Winter and early Spring dormant plants may be shipped. Dormant plants may be planted right away, even before the last frost date.
Most bare root varieties are field grown for at least one season, though Hemerocallis and Hosta are grown for two seasons. The bulk of the soil is removed during the harvesting process and the tops of most varieties are trimmed back to the crown. They are graded, packed in shredded aspen or sphagnum moss and stored in freezers until ready to be shipped.

Plant information and care is provided in the Overview section, Plant Genus Page and general information is provided in the Planting Care & Guides. Additional questions can be asked on each Plant page.
Plant Spacing: Using the maximum mature spread or width of a plant to guide spacing, ensures space to grow to full size. To fill an area sooner, plant them closer together. Just remember, future thinning or transplanting may be needed.
Water: Keep a close eye on newly planted perennials, especially throughout the first growing year. Most early plant loss is due to too much or too little water!
